IANAL but… could they be trying to use the word unique to get around any future membership in a class (like to avoid class action)? I mean also gotta love superseding all other laws too. Go big or go home.

My cute retired neighbor called my HOA for me and… kept calling for FIVE DAYS because they refused to put him thru to the lady. As soon as he gets back to town, I’m taking him cookies.
